    Let's not pick nits guys

    Going into a frenzy due to the use of the word "quixotic" is really overboard. Geez, lighten up! Michael wrote a very nice article.

    By the way Michael, the short answer to your question about what supporters really want, is easy. It's freedom. No longer a given in this country...

    I'm at a loss about someone who says they "fear" Austrian economics. The only economic system that does not employ coercion. Most transactions that most people have every day do not involve coercion, but instead are about peaceful interchange. Why is it so hard to imagine that extended? Why so fearful? Is it really that bad we are going to stop killing Iraqis - which is perfectly emblematic our our current condition? What alternative to Ron Paul is going to stop that?

    Yes, Dennis, by all means push his campaign. But if he can't win the nomination, Ron Paul (who WILL win the nomination) is the only civilized choice.

    Don't fear freedom!
